ABSTRACT
The through-space charge transfer thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TSCT-TADF) properties of a series of molecules were characterized and tested theoretically by density functional theory and time-dependent density functional theory. By analyzing the weak interaction of the molecules at the ground state and calculating the transition contribution ratio of the donor, acceptor, and bridge in the excited state, we verified the through-space charge transfer characteristic of these molecules. We designed new molecules on the basis of the reported molecules (non-TADF molecule 1 and TADF molecule 2) to improve the performance. Smaller singlet-triplet energy gaps and larger spin-orbit coupling were obtained in the designed molecules, which is beneficial to obtain higher intersystem crossing and reverse intersystem crossing rates (kRISC). In addition, we calculated the radiation rate and the singlet-triplet reorganization energy, which is used to characterize the nonradiation rate. The comprehensive evaluation of both radiative and nonradiative processes shows that molecules 4 and 6 have the potential to be highly efficient TSCT-TADF materials.
